litter pickup
Gathering scattered rubbish
Litter pickup is the activity of collecting trash from public spaces—roadsides, parks, beaches, neighborhoods.
It often takes the form of organized volunteer events: The church sponsors a monthly litter pickup along the highway.
The phrase can also refer to a single instance of this activity or to scheduled municipal services that remove discarded waste.
